For the sixth consecutive year,
FACTS Training and AirCare have been selected by Bombardier
Aerospace Learjet to provide emergency procedures and in-flight
medical training at the 2005 Safety Standdown. This year's theme of
"War on Error" will focus on the advancement of safety through
reduction of human error.
From October 25th to 27th, over 400 crewmembers from corporate
flight departments worldwide, the FAA, NASA, the NTSB, law
enforcement agencies and all branches of the military will attend
this seminar hosted by Bombardier in Wichita, Kansas. In addition
to timely and dynamic presentations throughout the three-day event,
participants will have the opportunity to personally experience the
value of emergency preparedness and crew training through the use
of state-of-the-art cockpit and cabin simulators, underwater egress
and survival equipment included in wet ditching exercises, live
fire and smoke training, and demonstrations with the latest
innovation of FACTS Training… hypoxia awareness simulation
using the FACTS ROBD™ (Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device).
FACTS instructors are industry recognized for their expertise in
safety and emergency procedures and for the passion from which they
deliver this training.
Safety Standdown participants will gain knowledge on how to
properly access, treat and care for ill or injured crew and
passengers with the unique considerations of time, space and the
altitudes of corporate aircraft. AirCare trainers provide hands-on
emergency medical practice following the industry standards for the
care of in-flight medical problems including practical first aid
procedures, O.S.H.A Bloodborne Pathogens training, CPR, and use of
automatic external defibrillators (AEDs).
FACTS Training is focused on a human-factors-oriented approach
to emergencies, stress, and the importance of team training pilots
and flight attendants to effectively respond to emergency
situations.
"The objective of this three-day event is to improve corporate
aviation safety. FACTS Training and AirCare are proud to have
helped Bombardier to meet that objective since we were chosen to
provide this critical training beginning with Safety Standdown
2000", said Doug Mykol, President/CEO of AirCare Solutions
Group.
